Modified "Blay style". Advantage I see here is by attaching the snap bolt to the DSMB, you are keeping the tension on the loop around the snap and preventing roll out. Previous "cave" version was better if you just want to run a line - DSMB was mostly just along for the ride. This modified...
I like the above from JimBlay and you can always do a figure 8 around the snap to really hold it down - I like it especially since you're already attached to the DSMB
there's a good number of videos so look for those - you'll basically make a loop large enough to to pass the spool through with an additional small loop that you can attach the double ender through. leave the tag on the knot so when it is wrapped on the spool, the tag end will be out and...
A 19 was what I considered as a minimum for a bailout - just enough to spend a minute or so trying to remedy an issue on the bottom before you need to bail. I rarely do anything over 80-90 fsw so volume is sufficient to be able to include a safety stop if your not trouble shooting too long -...
AFA the Charter bit, yes, charters were supposedly halted. Boats were still going out with dive groups 'paying for gas' - not technically chartering. Some dive ops stopped completely - others got around it. FWC commercially licensed boats were operating normally - just weren't supposed to be...
Accident was on Sunday's morning splash. Wife & I were supposed to go on Saturday but we backed out for various reasons. Her sister went and said there were a few issues being a new boat recently converted. She said post dive embark procedures were discussed but even then she got partially...
Been to both, did return trips to both and could do another trip to each as I've enjoyed them enough. Can't say that about other the places in the Caribbean that I've been other than Bonaire. All were through ScubaBoard Invasions - Hotel Cozumel/Paradise Divers and Anthony's Key Resort for...
Force E off of Blue Heron Blvd would be a good shop close by. I'd contact Dustin McCabe from Florida Scuba Charters (561) 676-1230 (they are on Facebook) and get a recommedation (if he can't do it). You're close to BHB so a great place to learn - maybe not so much in winter but....
Well, you did know that going in....
Getting back on topic.. Most parts kits are available with some manufacturers even offering direct purchase. A good few of the OEMs have pushed their recommended interval from yearly to 2 years. I have friends that still insist on a yearly interval to...
I'd like to think more of us are going to #4, at least those who are servicing their own. Monitoring the IP with a relatively inexpensive gauge goes a long way.
What he said. Depending on depth and size of your pony, you may have little to no time to sort a gas supply issue out on the bottom. Best to be heading up.
